Add data bands that display data such as stations, elevations, and horizontal geometry.

Place data bands along the top or bottom of a profile view grid to annotate the various profile lines with station and elevation data, vertical or horizontal geometry points, or superelevation, sectional, or pipe network data. You can also group a set of commonly used data bands into a band set that can be applied to a profile view as a single selection.

Note

The individual geometry points to label can be specified with the Profile Data band type.
